Kingdoms of Color

Start

Ooohh...

Intro

I dreamed beneath the starry sweep,

Where silence falls and mortals sleep,

And colors vast like rivers poured,

Each hue a hymn, each beam a sword.

Verse 1

Yellow and gray with tongues of flame,

Danced through the wind and called my name.

"Speak!" cried the hues with silver breath,

"Move like the wind, defy still death!"

Verse 2

Green came soft on rose's wing,

A sigh, a brush, a lover's ring.

It wept for art, and hearts unshod,

It kissed the hands that sculpt the god.

Verse 3

Then red did blaze with roaring sound,

A lion's claw upon the ground.

It shrieked of war and eyes gone blind,

Of burning blood and sharpened mind.

Verse 4

Indigo blue like ocean's dream,

Unfurled its cape with noble gleam.

"Expand!" it cried, "Make wide thy gate –

Honour rides on Joy's estate."

Verse 5

Brown then crept with ancient song,

Of roots and bones and time grown long.

A wise old king, in cloak of stone,

Led me past his twilight throne.

Verse 6

Pale blue flashed and cracked the dome,

A shock of stars, a spark of chrome.

"Behold!" it cried, "the wires spin –

The sky is glass, the pulse within!"

Verse 7

Violet swirled in velvet shroud,

With masks of dream and magic loud.

It showed me lies in silken thread,

And built a kingdom in my head.

Verse 8

Then black and crimson red conspire,

With serpent voice and hidden fire.

"Control," they hissed, "the crowd, the flame –

Their dreams are dust, their thoughts a game."

Uuuhhhh...

Chorus

I dreamed beneath the starry sweep,

Where silence falls and mortals sleep,

And colors vast like rivers poured,

Each hue a hymn, each beam a sword.
